In linguistics, clipping, also called truncation or shortening,[1] is word formation by removing some segments of an existing word to create a synonym.[2] Clipping differs from abbreviation, which is based on a shortening of the written, rather than the spoken, form of an existing word or phrase. Clipping is also different from back-formation, which proceeds by (pseudo-)morpheme rather than segment, and where the new word may differ in sense and word class from its source.[3]
